are considering) that the precedent OF
pensioning widows of ex-presidents was
ever established. Years ago congress
voted $4,000 per annum to the widow of
President Polk, and since that time the
custom has been kept up. Mrs. Garfield,
with fortune of half a million dollars
contributed by the people of the coun-
try, draws her $4,000 q year from the
national treasury, and will until she
dies. 1t is fitting if president dies and
leaves a widow without adequate means
to support her in comfortable style, that
the country shall provide fund for her
maintenance. This is due, not to the
individual, but the position she has &C.
cupled. But this fund should be the
voluntary Offering of a patriotic,
considerate people, as in tee case of Mrs.
Garfield, and not charge on the
national treasury. The American people
are generous, and it would only be neces-
sary to let them know such fund is
needed to bring the money pouring in
from every part Of the common country.
The precedent OF pensioning presidential
widows seems to be pretty firmly estab-
lished, however, and we suppose the
policy will stand. If it cannot be
abolished the next best thing is to take
care that the civil pension list is not
enlarged. This was the principle
Senator Coke, and he deserves
credit for enunciating it. Moral courage
was required to get up in the senate and
interpose objections, in the face of the
strong tide of sentiment that demanded
the pension, and few men would have
the courage of their convic-
tons, as Coke did. That the country was |
ready to do everything fitting in behalf Of |
Mrs. Logan was evidenced by the |
rapfdlty with which fund Of over !
300, 600 was raised for her By popular
This was generous and
proper, for it appears Gen. Logan's
estate was covered with debt. But THE
GAZETTE holds, and so will the Democ-
'acy, with Senator Coke, that we do not
want any formidable civil pension list in
his country. such policy does not be-
,ome Democratic people, for it ape
ne customs of counties where mons
riches rule. The people will take care
hat the widow of any man who has ever
lone valiant service as q civilian for his
ountry shall not suffer.

lands that will belong to the perma-
nent school fund if Greer.county is ever
awarded to Texas. The legislature
should stand between the children and
the land spectators who would raid
these lands. The people want to have
the prohibition question settled for good
and all, and the only way to do that is to
give the people an opportunity to vote
on prohibitory amendment. Everybody
knows that the Texas road-law is fear
full and wonderful law. The legislator
who can devise q real improvement on
the road law will be public benefactor-
and as almost any change will be sn i'm
provement, it is to be hoped mem
bers will not be backward in suggestions
The homesteSd-exemption laws are not in
accordance with the spirit of the age
They SAVIOR of the patriarchal era and do
not make man the free agent he ought to
be, to do as he lists with his own; they
make money nearly twice as high-priced
as it ought to be. These laws ought to
be revised. The election law is the acme
of mcssbsckism. A very simple change
will enable the people 10 learn the result
of elections the day after the ballots
are cast. A week to ten days is required
now. These constitute the measures OF
real Importance and THE GAZETTE, re-
fleeing the aspirations of the people,
hopes for action Gu each and every one of
them. Perhaps the action that is taken
will not be, in every instance, Just what
this or that section of the state could de-
sire, but the greatest good to the greatest
number is the end OF enlightened,
patriotic legislation, and the people have
a right TO hope for some real good at the
hands of the Twentieth legislature.

On the first day of January, Mayor
BroiIes issued fair-sounding greeting
How is he living up to it? His promises
were fair-what have been his actions?
This is critical Juncture in
the history and life OF
Fort Worth, and the city
cannot afford to have its mayor, for some
inscrutable, If not personal, reason, play
ing with municipal affairs. The office of
mayor was created for public benefit and
its occupant should not forget it. The
remission OF the fines Of men who are
amply able to pay them, and expect to
pay them, is just so much money take1
from the people. Why is this done:

Betrayed by a "Wfsh. Bone (,

Ten years ago Louis Lichtenberger left
his home in Newark ostensibly to 90 to a
baroer's shop Since that time he has
not been heard from BY his wife and chill
dren. Recently Mr.. Weight told Mrs.
Ltchtenberger of "wish-bone" incident
that occurred at ST. Louis, in which ne
was the supposed hushand-elect of the
girl who placed the bone over the door.
lie further stated that the girl subse-
quentiJ married man named Lichten-
berger. This story led to an inyestiga-
ton, and it was found that the long
missing husband had married again.
Mrs Litchenberger will commence pro.
ceedings tor divorce, and will probably
have her husband, who is now in Council
Bluffs, arrested for bigamy.

Lines difficulties are still in sn unsettled
condition as the libel which was placed
on the Lydian Monarch by Ssevedore
Norman has not been satisfied, ana the
vessel could not make its departure for
London to-day. The agent of the CON-
pany admits that several other llbels
of small amounts have been placed
on the Persian Monsrcj and other steam
ers of the line. 1t is thought that the
trouble will be amicably arranged so as
to permit the Lydisn Monarch 10 start
Monday afternoon. Nothing Is seen at

who, it was rumored, intended to sail on
the Lydian Monarch.

Senator Coke's objection to a pension
Of $4,000 year for the widow of Gen.
Logan was based on a, principle, and the
principle is sound one, as any one who
will eliminate sentiment in C. nsiderlng
the matter must agree. Those who know
Mr.. Coke, as the people of Texas do, do
not need assurance that there was moth
ing personal in the senator's objection.
Mr.. Coke is right. This government
ought not to maintain civil pension list.

4 PROBABLE WRECK.

The South Bound Missouri Pacific Reported
Ten Hours Late.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, Jan. Passengers in
on trains tonight report the ground il
Arkansas and East Texas as far west as
Mineola and up in the Indian Territory
covered with a deep snow, and railroad
,ravel much impeded. The Houston and
Texas Central south-bound passenger
train came through this ever
ing without connecting with the
Missouri Pacific train at Denison,
that train being reported ten hours late.
One rum0r is that serious wreck has
occurred, and another is that the delay
was caused by the deep snow and ex-
IRENE cold weather. Nothing can be
learned in railroad circles, but the wreck
rumor is the more generally believed be-
cause of the great length Of time of the
delay, which is regarded as more than
the weather would be apt to cause.

a GENEROUS CITY.


If the liberal-hearted mayor of Fori
Worth simply desires to establish d repu,
tation for the City for generosity, he need
notremit the fines of those who are able to
pay them in order to do SO. Fort Worth
is very charitable city, and has given
away over $4,000 since April u, 1886, as
follows:
For CITY hospital. Observation-Disclosures 50 425 10
For burial OF paupcrs.... ................ 1913 CO
For groceries, fuel, ctc............. l.. S29 SO
For medical add. ........ .......... 296.s5
Total. ..................... S3,93t25
And this does not include the board
and extra guarding of gentlemen who eat
and sleep out fines which have not been
RENTED. By the way, if the fine OF any
one ought to be RENTED, wouldn't it be
money in the city's pocket to remit those
of gentlemen who are unable TO pay and
are an expense TO the city to feed, and to
collect from al who are able to
payD This calaboose expense foots up
about $4,000 since April 81 last, making g
grand total of $500 devoted by the city
To charity in eight and half months.
And now the mayor supplements this with
500 month through remission Of fines.
Nearly $500 month Tor sweet charity's
sake. Fort Worth Will go to heaven when
it dies.
